Buehler was a member of the Dodgers for the team’s last two World Series championships and he played a critical role in the team’s push toward its title last year. But after signing a $21 million deal to join the Red Sox, he has struggled to stay on the mound and has a 4.44 ERA in nine starts so far.

Dodgers' pitcher Tyler Glasnow, sidelined since late April with a shoulder injury, provided a positive health update, stating his shoulder feels "totally fine" and that his recent back tightness was just precautionary.

Mookie Betts is close to returning to the Dodgers' lineup after a toe injury, while Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow face longer recovery plans.
